Don’t Be Fooled, the South Is Still Racist

Dozens of protesters led by white nationalist Richard Spencer gathered in Jackson Park on Saturday afternoon and assembled again that night in the city’s Lee Park, where they took up torches and surrounded the statue of Confederate general Lee slated for removal by the city council, according to reporters on the scene.

Charlottesville mayor Mike Signer (D) condemned the protest, both lashing out at Spencer on Twitter and issuing a statement against the group’s intimidation tactics.
@RichardBSpencer This garbage white supremacy won’t even be a footnote in our history. #leave #resistance #welcomingcity.
